  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Maddie Holmes who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Maddie Holmes is a senior at Jefferson 
High School and received this award because her determination and hard 
work have allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Maddie Holmes is exemplary of the type 
of achievement that can be attained with hard work and perseverance. It 
is essential that students at all levels strive to make the most of 
their education and develop a work ethic that will guide them for the 
rest of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Maddie Holmes for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication she has shown in her 
high school career to her college career and future accomplishments.
